@Tiffany I enjoyed that one very much also. Planning to read the second book soon.

Third act breakups have gotten kind of terrible, haven't they? Sometimes they just seem so forced and obligatory.

@willaful Yes, exactly! I don’t mind a breakup that’s justified by the story and the characters. But it’s not necessary! I really enjoyed Rebekah Weatherspoon’s Cowboys of California series and I had a moment in the second book when I was bracing for the unnecessary obligatory break up and then instead, the book smoothly followed the path it had set, and I felt so relieved. Still had conflict and tension, just in its own way.
